Playing in the Dark and Dirt: Dorothy Allison's Bastard out of Carolina and Tomboyism in the American South
Original language description
The study offers a new reading of Allison's novel, published in 1992, placing it into the frame of tomboyism, a historical and cultural phenomenon of girls dressing and behaving like boys, of which the novel's protagonist, Ruth Anne "Bone" Boatwright, might be seen as a representative. Tomboyism, usually perceived solely as a gender issue, is here expanded to embrace other categories of identity, especially race, class and sexuality. By means of intersectional analysis, a methodological tool employed byAfrican American feminists to address the interlocking nature of race and gender oppression, it is possible to show how interconnected and mutually dependent these categories are, and how their transgression, performed by Bone, imbues tomboyism with thepower to become a viable lifelong identity option, and challengess the interpretational tradition of tomboy narratives.
